fun, show-Art, and definitely not show-fair. Business
is about money, commercial appeal, marketability,

personal and often it’s not even about talent but rather
“type” and “the one in the room everyone can agree
on.” In BUSINESS ESSENTIALS, you become familiar
with the business side of things: Producers, Average
Ticket Price, Total Capacity, Creative Team,
Casting, Type, etc. You’ll also gain a clear
understanding of where and how YOU fit best in the

can do to gain an edge on the Competition as well as
multiple ways to overcome the countless Rejection.
